Protesters trying to ban WWE

Source: PWInsider.com

- A group of protesters in Vermont is currently attempting to get WWE banned from running shows in Burlington. The group, which protested outside a recent WWE show at the Burlington Memorial Auditorium, has expressed outrage at storylines involving sexual harassment and extreme violence.

"We've seen in out takes from the footage sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, domestic violence acted out. All these things I don't want my kids seeing as acceptable entertainment," Wendy Huff told the Channel 3 News.

The Burlington Parks & Recreation Board is investigating the situation and evaluating whether or not such a ban is even legal. One possible compromise on the table would involve labeling WWE events as "adults only," but WWE has, in the past, opposed such labels being placed on its shows.

Hey, you could always try being a parent and monitoring what your kids watch, lazy bitch.

I agree, it seems that nowadays parents don't want to monitor what they let their kids watch or play, then complain and/or sue afterwards.A ban will never happen.

Visit and shop for video games at my Amazon-based store, also get discounted HD DVDs while they last.

I would love if WWE got banned, even if just for a few weeks.

Just to see how all you guys reacted.

So why does she feel the need to control every child in Burlington? I swear if I were ever to kill someone it would be someone so fucking stupid as this.

These fucking house wifes who have no life and need something to do, get involved with this stupid shit to give their useless lives some meaning and make themselves fell better like they are doing the world some good. They are just ignorant and stupid.

Everything these days is so sensitive. I am not trying to dig on America, but it is based on this kind of fondation and that is why so many things like this happen today. Everything back in the beginning was so opressed and restricted and seen as "wrong" so it was labeled as so and it still shines through in todays world.

I am not trying to take up for the U.S. Ida but stuff like this happens everywhere. What about you guys always talking about TSN (I think it is) that broadcasts Raw in Canada. They always cut away to crowd shots when they think a woman is going to body slammed. It is just pretty much the whole world trying to be to p.c. It is because of protestors like this that cause censorship.

I'm waiting for a Right To Censor V2 now based on these women.

It really doesn't make sense though. As everyone has said, if she doesn't want her kids watching it, don't let them, don't try and ruin it for other families. In the few events i've seen here. I've seen families together and they have a great night out. It's a bonding experience for some and it's pathetic that it's even under threat.

I wish my sex life was like ECW, first you get a One Night Stand followed by 2 months of nostalgic orgasms and then 6 months of constant sucking.
